Chapter 244

243 Poor Leon, was...

"..."

The two of us... did we take the wrong script?

When preparing to come over to break off the engagement, Leon had already made psychological preparations in advance. However, he had thought that the Princess might refuse flatly, might put forward some harsh conditions, or even threaten and lure, etc., etc.

But the only thing he didn't expect was that the Princess actually chose to "reason" with him, and even launched a confident and strong fierce pursuit towards him...

Can this be counted as pursuit?

"I admit, if I have to make a choice now, then we... are indeed quite suitable..."

Being squeezed into the corner of the sofa by the Princess who was getting closer and closer, Leon, who was shrinking like a little daughter-in-law, pulled back his palm with a will stronger than steel, and continued to struggle to resist:

"But I don't necessarily have to make a choice, at least not necessarily have to choose now... Your Highness, you are indeed very good, but I am currently still..."

"Since you are not in a hurry to make a choice now, why are you in a hurry to refuse me?"

Facing Leon's "stubborn resistance," the Princess didn't rush to chase, but upheld the military principle of "surrounding three and leaving one," and took the initiative to let out a way of life:

"I didn't force you to accept this marriage immediately, I just don't want you to cut it off too eagerly.

Leon, if you are not in a hurry to make a choice, then why don't we maintain the current state first, contact more, increase understanding, and don't refuse the gift of fate so easily."

"You still believe in fate?"

"I didn't believe it before."

The Princess smiled:

"But since fate sent you to me, then I am willing to believe her once."

"..."

Don't hit, don't hit, I really am about to surrender...

Facing the Princess who didn't succeed in soft grinding and changed to hard bubble, and didn't succeed in hard bubble and went to awkward flirting, Leon, who was retreating steadily, couldn't hold on to her wave after wave of offensive, so he had to raise his hands and surrender:

"Then... let's do this first?"

"Then let's do this first."

Successfully repelling Leon who came to break off the engagement, and recovering all the lost ground in one fell swoop, the Princess pulled up the shallow V-neck of her nightgown, then sat up straight, and transferred the battlefield with a smile:

"In addition, I haven't had time to thank you for helping me retrieve my identity. Regarding this matter, what kind of thank-you gift do you want?"

"Forget the thank-you gift..."

Hearing the Princess's words, Leon, who breathed a sigh of relief, became vigilant again, and hurriedly waved his hand:

"I am a cleaner of the Cleanup Bureau. According to the agreement between the Cleanup Bureau and the royal families of various countries, I originally have the duty to ensure the safety of royal personnel, so..."

"The thank-you gift for the cleaner can be forgotten, but the thank-you gift for the Prince must still be given."

"..."

Seeming to like Leon's reaction very much, the Princess leaning on the back of the sofa smiled, then stretched out her fair and delicate fingers and reached into the neckline of her nightgown.

"Uh... I'd better not disturb."

"Why are you running?"

Pulling Leon, who got up and wanted to leave, with amusement, and putting a somewhat old small pendant into his palm, Princess Veronica said softly with nostalgia:

"This is a pendant my mother gave me... Don't worry, it's not the kind of thing with great commemorative value that you must marry me if you accept it, it's just a small wish."

Gently holding Leon's palm and letting him grasp the pendant that still carried body temperature, Princess Veronica said seriously:

"When my mother gave it to me, she hoped it could bless me with peace and smoothness. Now I give it to you, hoping it can also bless your peace."

"Thank you..."

After rubbing this pendant, which was not an anomalous object and had no special effect, but was quite warm, looking at the Princess who had played a round of schemes on him fiercely, but now appeared exceptionally sincere, Leon couldn't help but hesitate, and then said hesitantly:

"Actually, if you just want the inheritance of the Laien family, want the support of the Road Administration Department and the Military Department, and the seat of the Upper House, you don't necessarily have to be with me..."

"Leon, I must marry."

Before he finished speaking, the Princess took the lead and stared at him seriously:

"This country cannot be handed over to Joshua, he doesn't have the talent in this regard, so I want to be, and must be the next Queen!

And a stable family, as well as descendants to inherit the royal bloodline, are essential conditions for wanting to become Queen. Since I must marry and start a family with others, why can't this person be you?"

"..."

After estimating the progress of walking the fish and finding that it was basically in place, the Princess, who had just surrounded three and lacked one and pretended to retreat, immediately revealed her true colors and launched an incomparably fierce general attack!

"To tell you the truth, before and after you succeeded as Lionheart Duke, I had investigated you very carefully."

Holding Leon's palm again and taking the initiative to confess her investigation of him, Princess Veronica said with a look of memory:

"Although my plan at that time was just to take back part of the control of the Military Department after the Laien family fell, I didn't have any other thoughts about you.

But after you proposed to me in public at the succession ceremony, I soon discovered that you are the most ideal Prince candidate in my heart!"

Looking at Leon, who was a bit surprised in front of her, the Princess said her evaluation of him softly.

"Leon, you are really very good, not only diligent and reliable, stable in personality, family-oriented, but also dare to take responsibility, never abandon your seriously ill sister, and in order to save her, you would rather take risks and join the Cleanup Bureau with a high mortality rate.

And after joining the Cleanup Bureau, you are also serious and responsible, brave in taking on tasks, never retreating no matter how great the danger is. In the fecal water incident, you also ran around for those victims, and you have almost no desire for power, even if you face the position of Duke, you are not moved at all..."

Ah this...

Hearing the Princess's evaluation of him, Leon couldn't help but blush and said embarrassedly:

"I am actually not that good..."

"And you are also particularly humble."

"..."

"I admit, when I agreed to your proposal at that time, perhaps it was more for the seat of the Laien family, but after careful consideration, I am now very sure that you are the best Prince I can find. If I let you go, I will definitely regret it in the future!"

After catching Leon and praising him fiercely, and expressing her determination to get him, the Princess, who had shown her attitude and courage, suddenly dimmed her eyes, and her mood was a bit low:

"I know, unlike me who only has you to choose, besides me, a troublesome woman, you have other choices. Tying you to me in advance may not be very fair to you.

But... but I really don't want to miss this opportunity!"

Gazing at Leon's eyes, the Princess changed her strong and decisive appearance, her bright eyes contained glistening water, and she said softly with tears:

"This is already the only opportunity for me to choose a husband according to my own heart. I admit, just now I did use some small thoughts, but I really have no way.

When I heard that you came this time and wanted to break off the engagement with me, I panicked, and my brain was a bit messy, and I subconsciously used the set of things I was most familiar with, wanting to keep you...

I... Leon, don't be angry with me, okay? If you refuse me, then I... I... I..."
